OK it is the text dump, uncompressed, looks like the new maint. plan does a rebuild index then a reorganize index. Of course I do not know a lot about SQL, but when I watch the rsync run most of the data is generated in the last 25% of the run, I know the data is the same in there but maybe now it

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 When you say an SQL database dump do you mean you are rsyncing the raw text file or are you compressing it? If you are compressing it you might want to try gzip with the --rsyncable patch as it can significantly improve rsync's ability to delta-xfer c

I have been using rsync to sync a SQL database dump(127GB in size) on a server (cygwin to linux) for many years now w/o a problem, until they put a maintence plan to reindex the database once a week. This is all done over a 2Mbit link normally took 3-4 hrs now I noticed it was running the next d

All, I have read the lists, I have read the faq - yes, rsync uses a lot of memory. That said - I need to use rsync in an environment with a lot of files, and I need to use -H and --delete options. The faq says about 100 bytes per file - at the moment I am looking at 870 files, which should

Hi, we are using rsync to mirror large trees (>> 50 GB, >> 2 mio files) offsite (rsync -e ssh with forced ssh command on the remote side). The main problem occuring is memory usage (especially as the remote system has no swap space configured for security reasons): It seems that the rsync proces

Yes, that sounds like a pretty good plan for (say) rsync 3.0. We all seem to be more or less on the same track as to how the protocol should look. Here are my feelings about the way to get there. I would be happy to have holes picked in them: * rsync 2.x works well, but is too crufty to be a
